Abstract
We estimate the production of high energy neutrino and gamma-ray signals through interactions of protons and subsequent decay of secondaries in the shell of SN1987a. We also discuss the absorption of the gamma-ray signals, the detection limits and the existing and proposed experiments in the Southern hemisphere, TeV and PeV gamma-ray signals will be detectable if the total proton luminosity of the supernova is greater than 10 39 erg/s and the differential spectral index γ of the accelerated protons is not steeper than 2.4. The detection of neutrino induced muons from the supernova will only be possible if the total proton luminosity exceeds 10 42 erg/s.
